    This is my story of my Uncle Paul who I consider to be a good man and a father figure to me. I’m writing this so you are aware of some of Uncle’s accomplishments.

    Uncle Paul lived in Farmers Branch for the past 50+ years and was a founding member of Mary Immaculate Catholic Church. Uncle served in the US Navy and fought in the Korean War. Uncle was stationed for a while in Japan before returning in Washington DC where he met his beautiful wife Bess Tolnay. Uncle and Aunt Bess married in DC then moved back to Dallas to be close to his family in Princeton where Uncle was raised. Uncle and Aunt Bess raised four wonderful children, 3 boys and 1 girl. All attended Mary Immaculate Catholic School. Aunt Bess passed away in June 2008. The family has missed Aunt Bess immensely. I remember meeting Uncle when I was 6 years old. My Mom and I moved to Farmers Branch and stayed with Uncle and Aunt Bess for a few months. Uncle was kind man and he always treated me like one of his own children. He always made me feel at home. Over the last 52 years Uncle and I have had many long talks over coffee and beers and many rounds of golf together. Some of my fondest memories of Uncle are the times Uncle, my son Austin and me played golf together at LB Houston. Lots of conversation, lots of laughing, a few beers and a couple of O’Craps. Uncle informed me about 30 years back that as a good husband you must learn that an O’Crap with the wife will erase three atta-boys. Now that is wisdom. Over the years I continued to stop by Uncle’s house to have a cup of coffee and catch up on his wisdom. Uncle was an intelligent man and a former engineer who always seemed to bring out intelligent conversations in people. I will say I always left our talks a little smarter than when I arrived. One thing was sure, when it was time to leave his house, Uncle would always walk you out and stand out in his driveway to see you off. It’s funny how things both large and small get passed to the next generation. I find myself doing the same thing today when friends and family leave my house. If you had the pleasure to know Uncle you knew he was an active person who liked to socialize with family and friends. Uncle was an avid golfer and played at LB Houston with friends and family up to about his 70th birthday. Paul enjoyed family get-togethers and attending the Farmers Branch Senior Citizens Center where he spent a lot of time socializing, playing bridge, and attending dinners and dancing. Uncle was known at the center to be a very “good dancer.” When asked about his good dance moves, Uncle would say “heck I was a sailor.” Uncle always had time for his family and to provide a kind word of wisdom. Now you have a better understanding why Uncle is a “good man.” I hope to continue his legacy of being a “good man” too. He will be missed by his family and friends.
    I love you Uncle
    Cotton, your special nephew
